Looking into a new Cell phone/Carrier in the Central Florida Area but I want some advice on phones and or carriers. So far im thinking Metro PCS with a SamSung Slider phone..

I have the LG Fusic from Sprint right now but we are about to be done with Sprint. We are basically going to choose our next cell phone carrier based on the phone we can get. Having the phone as a modem is the most important feature to us. But trying to figure out what all phones have that feature is like pulling teeth! Every carrier calls it something different, and I’m not sure if certain things mean what I think they mean so on and so forth.
